Facebook Monitors Chats, Reports to Police
If you use Facebook, you should know that the company is now monitoring all live chats looking for illegal activity, inappropriate ages in chats, vulgarity, etc.
And what's worse is they will report suspicious activity to police.
This article is certainly worth the read if you STILL use Facebook!
Quote:
The software pays more attention to chats between users who don’t already have a well-established connection on the site and whose profile data indicate something may be wrong, such as a wide age gap. The scanning program is also “smart” — it’s taught to keep an eye out for certain phrases found in the previously obtained chat records from criminals including sexual predators.
If the scanning software flags a suspicious chat exchange, it notifies Facebook security employees, who can then determine if police should be notified.

So if you cuss out your brother and tell him "I'm gonna kick your ass," on facebook, FaceBook will contact the appropriate law enforcement agency, where an officer will be dispatched with instructions to kick both your and your brother's asses? That's one possible use for their service which seems to be intended to pick up the slack Chris Hansen and Dateline NBC are leaving?

haha, I can just see a number of scenarios where this won't go down well with the CIA.
Imagine the CIA has some secret op going and they're using facebook (as usual) to foment some revolution (oh let's say some fictional place like Libyria). And Facebook personnel are alerted to someone discussing planting a bomb. So they report the individual to the local constables who then go arrest the guy, torture him, kill him, kill his family, etc. etc.
Yup a great policy when you let computers decide who is being bad and who is being good. Sounds like an Electrikal Fascist Santa to me.
